Let X be an abelian variety of dimension g. In a recent preprint O'Grady defines modified diagonal classes \Gamma^m on X^m and he conjectures that the class of \Gamma^m in the Chow ring of X^m is torsion for m \geq 2g+1. We prove a…

We prove a number of basic vanishing results for modified diagonal classes. We also obtain some sharp results for modified diagonals of curves and abelian varieties, and we prove a conjecture of O'Grady about modified diagonals on double…

We prove that the vanishings of the modified diagonal cycles of Gross and Schoen govern the $\mathbb{Z}$-linear relations between small $m$-diagonals $\text{pt}^{\{1,\ldots,n\}\setminus A}\times\Delta_A$ in the rational Chow ring of $X^n$…

We prove vanishing results for the modified diagonal cycles in the Chow groups of the triple products of Shimura curves and their motivic direct summands. In particular we find examples of curves with trivial automorphism groups and…

For each $N\geq 2$, Asakura and Otsubo have recently introduced a smooth family of algebraic curves $\{X_{N,\lambda}\}_{\lambda \in \mathbb{P}^1\setminus \{0, 1, \infty\}}$ in characteristic 0 that is closely related to hypergeometric…

Let $C$ be a curve of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $J$ be its Jacobian. The choice of a degree 1 divisor $e$ on $C$ gives an embedding of $C$ into $J$; we denote by $[C]_{}^{e}\in \mathrm{CH}\left( J;\mathbb{Q} \right) $ the class in the Chow…

In this paper, we study the zero divisor graph $\Gamma^m(L)$ of a multiplicative lattice L. We prove under certain conditions that for a reduced multiplicative lattice L having more than two minimal prime elements, $\Gamma^m(L)$ contains a…

On a compact K\"{a}hler manifold $X$ with a holomorphic 2-form $\a$, there is an almost complex structure associated with $\a$. We show how this implies vanishing theorems for the Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$. This extends the approach,…

We prove the Green conjecture for generic curves of odd genus. That is we prove the vanishing $K_{k,1}(X,K_X)=0$ for $X$ generic of genus $2k+1$. The curves we consider are smooth curves $X$ on a K3 surface whose Picard group has rank 2.…

We prove a sufficient condition for the vanishing of the modified diagonal cycle in the Chow group (with $\mathbb{Q}$-coefficients) of the triple product of a curve over $\mathbb{C}$. We exhibit infinitely many non-hyperelliptic curves,…

The classical Kodaira Vanishing Theorem states that Hi(X, {\omega}X \otimes L) = 0 for i > 0, where X is a smooth projective variety over C and L is an ample line bundle on X. We prove an analogous vanishing result under the assumption that…

Let $\Gamma$ be a smooth, closed, oriented, $(n-1)$-dimensional submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. We show that there exist arbitrarily small perturbations $\Gamma'$ of $\Gamma$ with the property that minimizing integral $n$-currents with…

We prove the vanishing of bounded cohomology with separable dual coefficients for many groups of interest in geometry, dynamics, and algebra. These include compactly supported structure-preserving diffeomorphism groups of certain manifolds;…

We answer two extremal questions about odd cycles that naturally arise in the study of sparse pseudorandom graphs. Let $\Gamma$ be an $(n,d,\lambda)$-graph, i.e., $n$-vertex, $d$-regular graphs with all nontrivial eigenvalues in the…

Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface of genus at least two. Consider the composition of a uniformly random element of $\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,S_n)$ with the $(n-1)$-dimensional irreducible representation of…

For a general Martens-special chain of cycles $\Gamma$ of type $k$ we prove that the gonality is equal to $k+2$. Although $\dim (W^1_{k+2} (\Gamma))=k$ we prove that $w^1_{k+2}(\Gamma)=0$. We also compute the gonality sequence of $\Gamma$…

In a graph $G$, let $\mu_G(xy)$ denote the number of edges between $x$ and $y$ in $G$. Let $\lambda K_{v,u}$ be the graph $(V\cup U,E)$ with $|V|=v$, $|U|=u$, and \[ \mu_G(xy)=\begin{cases} \lambda &\mbox{if $x\in U$ and $y\in V$ or if…

In this note, we revisit the modified diagonal cycle of Gross and Schoen. We look at degenerations of this cycle, induced by a degeneration of the curve C, and explain how the specialization map with respect to the central fiber produces a…

O'Grady's generalized Franchetta conjecture asks whether any codimension two cycle on the universal polarized K3 surface restricts to a multiple of the Beauville--Voisin class on a given K3 surface. We apply Mukai's program for genus 11…

We show that given a smooth projective variety X over C with dim(X) > 2, an ample line bundle O(1) on X and an integer n > 1, any n distinct points on a generic hypersurface of degree d in X are linearly independent in CH_0(X) if d >> 0.…
